Holy Priest BiS — Phase 2

Serpentshrine Cavern / Tempest Keep

Holy Priest is TBC's raid-healing workhorse: Circle of Healing spam on melee stacks, Prayer of Mending bouncing on cooldown, Renew weaving between. Throughput is never the problem — mana is, and this gear list is built around spirit regen as much as raw +healing. This Phase 2 snapshot aggregates 273 top healing parses from Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep; the highest-consensus pick is Gloves of the Avatar at 84% usage.

Circle of Healing costs nothing to aim and everything to sustain — spirit-based regen with Holy Concentration procs is what lets holy priests chain-cast through entire raid-damage phases.

Holy Priest PvE FAQ

Where does Holy Priest Phase 2 BiS come from?

From the gear worn by 273 top-ranked Holy Priest healing parses on Warcraft Logs during Phase 2 (Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep), aggregated per slot — what high parsers actually equip, not a spreadsheet ideal.

What are the highest-consensus Holy Priest items in Phase 2?

Gloves of the Avatar (84%), Mantle of the Avatar (83%), Belt of the Long Road (78%). When an item sits above ~70% among top parsers, treat it as the priority drop to chase.

Should I follow this list exactly for Phase 2?

Use it as a loot-priority guide, not a checklist — expand each slot's alternatives, because second-choice items are often within a few percent and drop from entirely different bosses in Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep.
